Was searching for Maiden on vinyl and this came up. It is Iron Maidens Eddies Archive boxset, this set sure has gone up in price and I have this. Wonder how much I could get for mine?

Check it out on ebay.

I have often in the past payed higher prices for rare items; and find out that the MUSIC is being reissued with bonus material in a couple of weeks at a much lower price than I had coughed up.
I missed out on this when it was in it's first two runs being short on cash; and hope it gets a third pressing. I know if I pay in the $200.00 plus range anytime, the band/label will rerelease it the following week for around $100.00.

That's a pretty sweet box though Smile

Nice box.

Is it worth paying that much? Unless you're a collector.

nah, it's just a collector's item i reckon like.
The best of the b-sides is a mint cd but the other two are hardly worth it.

Looks mint tho

I have one. Paid around £80 for it and that's about what they go for on ebay.co.uk It's a nice set, but there's nothing really essential about it. I have thought about selling it also, but i'll probably hold onto it.

Never bothered to pick this set up due to the exorbitant price tag. One of my buddies has it and he let me burn copies of the two "Best of the B-Sides" discs, which is all I really needed from it anyway. Very Happy

I have this, it is a very nice boxset but it is only for die hard fans.

I have this too. I like the B-Side collection, but all the live stuff is superb as well.

The b-sides is what I like the most.

The B-Sides are great, but the other two albums are not essential (unless you're a diehard Maiden fan... in which case you probably have the Archive already! Very Happy

I bought it when it came out, love the live stuff, especially the early shows with D'ianno, b-sides are cool as well

I typically sell my rare stuff when it's about to be reissued. Just sold Tight by Mindless Self Indulgence for $79.99 on Amazon for this very reason. I bought that album for $2 at Nuggets back in the day.

As much as I love owning rare things, the music is more important. If a reissue has 17 bonus tracks, that instantly becomes a cooler collectible for me.
